What is the current workers' compensation insurance rate classification for residential framing contractors in Nevada?
Correct Answer
C) Varies by insurance carrier
Workers' compensation classification codes and rates vary by insurance carrier and are subject to change. Contractors should verify current rates with their insurance provider.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
'Varies by insurance carrier' is correct. Workers' compensation classification codes and applicable rates are not set by a single uniform state schedule in Nevada — they are determined by individual insurance carriers and are subject to change. Contractors must verify current rates directly with their insurer.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 5551
5551 is incorrect. This specific code number is a distractor. While NCCI classification codes exist (and 5551 is sometimes referenced for carpentry), the question tests whether candidates know that rates vary by carrier, not that a specific universal code applies.
Option B: 5645
5645 is incorrect. Like option A, this is a specific NCCI code (sometimes used for residential framing) that is presented as a definitive universal answer. However, the key point is that carriers may apply different codes and rates.
Option D: 5403
5403 is incorrect. This is another NCCI-style code number that serves as a distractor. It does not represent a fixed, universally applicable rate for residential framing in Nevada.
Memory Technique
Workers' comp rates = 'Ask your carrier.' No single number is frozen in stone — insurance companies set their own rates within state guidelines. Think of it like gas prices: the commodity is the same, but every station has its own price.
